As I planned, I fished for flounder during the strong current, and fished for sheepshead when the current is mild.
Somehow, I couldn't catch any fish with my typical flounder rig. I saw 2 cobia at 30-35". I couldn't make them hit the cobia lure.
Fiddler crab didn't work well at all. I caught less than 10 trash fish for 4 hours using less than a dozen of fiddler crab. It seemed that there were no fish that day. So I decided to use a whole shrimp for sheepshead when I passed the second SBC (small boat channel). There was a kayaker going through the bridge pilings on the western bound bridge. He was going through the last of the 3 pylons. So I waited, and picked a random bridge piling after he passed by. As soon as I dropped the first shrimp at the first pylon, I got a good pull (from a sheepshead). I thought it was a 32" black drum initially. It looked the sheepshead is very exhausted, and nearly dead (in 82+ degree water). It seemed that there is no reason to resuscitate the fish. The storm came hours earlier than predicted. Due to lightening, it became a short fishing day.
I went to Ocean East (a bait/tackle store) for the official measurement. It was 11 lb 10 oz, and 24.5" long
